About the Nescopeck Collective

The Nescopeck Collective was established in 2020 as a Community-Supported Agriculture (CSA) program growing and sourcing local foods from family farms located in the beautiful Conyngham/Drums (Nescopeck Creek Valley ) and Wapwallopen Creek Valley of Northeast PA.  It emerged from the educational and entrepreneurial roots planted at the Butler Township Community Garden, which has served as a living classroom since its establishment in 2009. Within this garden, a dedicated “Growing Markets” Program introduced young people and aspiring agri-entrepreneurs to organic agriculture and CSA business practices. The Nescopeck Collective is now run as a startup small-scale business, giving college students and recent grads the chance to learn about local food systems, marketing, customer service, and distribution by managing its operations.
